Quarterly Event Faraday: “Two Sides of the Coin: From Entrepreneur to Venture Capital Investor”

On Wednesday, 08/10/2024, we hosted our third Quarter Event at the beautiful Auren offices in Madrid.

The event kicked off with a warm welcome for our guests, followed by an update on Faraday's latest activities. We then held an engaging Fire-Side Chat with Jordán Díaz, Founder and CEO of Vancubic.

Next, we hosted a roundtable discussion featuring Marta Amorós (Amorós Arbaiza) and Carlos Morales (CM Wealth Managers), where we explored wealth management from a strategic perspective. Key topics included generational succession, tax incentives for optimizing investments, diversification through Venture Capital assets, and investment returns.

The final roundtable of the evening focused on the journeys of several CEOs from our portfolio companies: Federico Sainz (Sepiia), Telmo Güell (Beemine), and Manuel Palao (Lendismart). They shared their experiences transitioning from startup founders to private investors. We examined the motivations behind their shift from entrepreneurs to venture capital investors, their experience investing in Faraday Europa II, and the valuable lessons they've learned about how their entrepreneurial background shapes their investment decisions.
